I just got the new 2215 ipaq (it is great!) to replace my 3855. I
would like to know if I can use the built in bluetooth to connect to
my desktop computer with the MS Bluetooth KB and mouse and sync or
surf the internet? If not can I use another bluetooth device to
connect my 2215 to sync and surf?

IF yes could you point me in the right direction for some steps to do
this?

Thanks.

Ed

No you can not. I think, (I haven't tried it) that the newest TDK Bluetooth
adapter will do this. The problem is you can only have one Bluetooth device,
for the most part, per computer. You would need to uninstall the Microsoft
one and install the newest version from TDK.

I've used the MS Bluetooth Mouse and Keyboard with my TDK.

All widcomm stack from 1.4 come with HID profile, ready to connect Bluetooth
mouse, keyboards, joysticks. DLINK released 1.4 already, TDK is testing,
Bluetake told me they're updating documentation.

David is right ion his answer - the MS Bluetooth adapter will not be of any
use to anything but MS mouse and keyboard, really.

Yes, however AFAIK the TDK adapter will not connect to the MS Mouse.

Can we download the beta TDK drivers with the 1.4 stack anywhere? The
ones on their website are still 1.3
